Ulster University is proud to partner with Technology network for Social Care Innovation (TESCI) to host a dynamic workshop dedicated to transforming social care through technological innovation. We are inviting researchers, industry partners, and social care professionals to help shape the future of care in Northern Ireland.
The Vision
As Northern Ireland’s population ages, the need for ethical, inclusive, and effective technological solutions has never been more vital. This workshop serves as a collaborative platform to bridge the gap between Computing and Engineering and real-world social care needs.
Key Themes we will explore together:
- Data-Driven Tools: Supporting workforce planning and service outcomes.
- Predictive Technologies: Addressing frailty, loneliness, and wellbeing.
- Hardware Innovations: Wearables, robotics, and smart sensors for users and carers.
Event Highlights
- Dates: Monday 22nd and Tuesday 23rd June 2026
- Location: Ulster University Belfast Campus, 22 York Street, Belfast
- Featured Sessions:
o Keynote Speakers: Reimagining Social Care
o Co-Creation Sandpit: Design-thinking sessions with local Health and Social Care practitioners and industry experts.
o Dragon’s Den: Pitch your collaborative concepts to a panel of innovation leaders.
o Networking: Including a Poster Session with prizes, and a Networking Dinner.
Why Attend?
This is more than a seminar; it is an opportunity for co-creation. Whether you are an Early Career Researcher (ECR), a service provider, or someone with lived experience, your voice is essential in building a more connected and compassionate care ecosystem.
By combining Northern Ireland’s strengths in research and digital technology, we aim to inspire sustainable innovation that delivers genuine social impact.
